Session 6 - The Two Covenants in 2 Corinthians 3

Was God’s Sinai Covenant a “letter that kills?”

Perhaps the most cited Pauline passage on the old and new covenants is 2 Corinthians 3. On first reading this passage seems to leave little room for an experiential interpretation. Closer examination, however, discovers evidence that Paul had in mind primarily new and old covenant experiences rather than two vastly different covenants God made with His people in different historical, dispensational eras.
